Stats
Bio
Recruited from Melbourne High School, Alby Weiss was a consistent and dangerous half-forward who carved out a respectable career for St Kilda during a lean era for the club. Standing at 182cm—a key position height in the 1930s—he offered a strong marking target in attack, serving as a reliable foil for legendary full-forward Bill Mohr. Weiss possessed a sharp eye for goal, averaging well over a major per game throughout his tenure at the Junction Oval, often capitalizing on the attention drawn by the Saints' primary spearhead. He remained a regular fixture in the senior side until the 1942 season, when the escalating impact of the Second World War disrupted the competition and brought his VFL journey to a premature close.
